Technoblade Never Dies: A New Adventure

Chapter 21 - Quit Horsing Around!

Finding the first few diamonds of his Aftercraft life took Technoblade only half a day. The excitement and anxiety made him so tired that Technoblade refused to do anything else.

"Three," he sighed. "Only three."

However, it was better than one. At least he had just enough to make that enchanting table.

The crafting workshop would take two hours to create that enchanting table, so Technoblade decided to take the rest of the day off.

"That's right," he spotted something in his inventory. "I have a saddle. Let's get me a horse. Walking is for peasants!"

Passing his nether portal chamber with an unlit portal, Technoblade ran to his sugarcane farm. He had some apples from chopping trees if the horse was fussy. They ate sugar and apples, right?

It was a long run to the meadows, and Technoblade changed the blocks he used this time. There were so many random pieces of cobblestone that he might be confused with them. Hence, he followed the trail and split off from the main exploration path with spruce planks instead. That way, he could easily mark out different areas of the vast meadow and revisit the area.

"If memory serves me right, the horses were in that direction because I recall being distracted by the fishes."

Indeed, revisiting this place brought back both fond and terrifying memories. Being in the middle of an open field while getting attacked wasn't Technoblade's most enjoyable memory. However, he lived to tell the tale and was even equipped with a bed this time.

"It won't happen again," he swore. "I came prepared."

The only problem was sleeping, only to find his horse missing as it wandered off in the night. However, the master tactician in him foresaw the problem, and that's why he came with all the logs and wood planks he possibly had.

That's right. The only way to teach a horse how to quit horsing around was to put him in the priso- stable. Technoblade might not have the luxuries of building a great stable in the middle of an open meadow, but he was a fast builder. As long as he had his horse where he wanted it to be when morning came, it's a good stable as any.

Ping!

"Oh, we have an enchanting table now. Too bad it will have to wait. I'm busy."

Ping!

A system notification. Now, that got Technoblade's interest.

[Congratulations on crafting your first enchanting table. A new system shop department has been made available to you. You can access it using your system shop. Happy shopping!]

Technoblade blinked at the brief message. Did the system just...

Stopping mid-sprint, Technoblade quickly opened the system shop to check the new department store. He had no idea if ADHD carried over to Aftercraft from Earth, but his limited attention was robbed when he learned there was a new system function.

The shop looked similar to what he knew previously. He had special skills he could purchase using levels, some skills he could grind manually that have levelled up considerably since he last checked about a month ago and on the next tab, that was the new department the system admin mentioned.

"An enchantment shop?"

In the instant that he selected that tab, Technoblade felt a flood of emotions bursting.

This... this...!

"... is my birthday present? Oh, wait. I meant death day. It's long overdue but thank you, system admin!"
